Stuck For A Valentine's Day Gift? Try One Of These 3 Options

Monday, February 11, 2019

Valentine's Day is the most romantic holiday of the year. Of course, you will hope to wow your partner with a beautiful gift that truly says how much they mean to you. You prepare to pull out all of the stops, complete with rose petals, candles, and a sleek bottle of wine. Valentine's Day is a success.

But not anymore. While this idea was achievable in the first few years of dating, countless birthdays, anniversaries, and previous Valentine's Days may have sapped you dry for ideas. Simply rehashing the same gifts can get boring. Worse yet, it can show your partner that you don't really care.

If you're one of the many people who are stuck finding the perfect Valentine's Day gift, try one of these three options to achieve a great holiday.

Something fun

Most people think Valentine's Day is all about chocolate and wine. While these two components are great, they're not going to be enough to make the holiday special. If you're stuck trying to find a great gift, choose an experience that the two of you can do together.

In fact, nearly 45% of people between the ages of 25 and 34 hope to give their partner an experiential gift on Valentine's Day. For example, plenty of local restaurants and grocery stores will offer cooking classes for couples leading up to Valentine's Day. You can learn how to make the perfect meal together and recreate it on a special day. If the two of you aren't foodies, you can always take up a classic dancing class for the occasion.

A unique twist on Valentine's Day is a ghost hunt. The excitement of a ghost hunt will get endorphins flowing and release feel-good hormones that can bring the two of you together. Some ghost hunts are even hosted by local breweries in old cities, allowing you to sample local craft brews as you hunt.

Something practical

Even though you want to go all out with a romantic day for two, the holiday can also be used as an excuse to exchange practical gifts as well.

This is a great time to splurge on expensive items since your tax return can supplement the cost later on. For example, this is the perfect time to opt for braces or another medical procedure that your partner has been putting off. Only 35% of adults have well-aligned front teeth and opting for Invisalign or a similar procedure is a gift that will keep on giving for years to come.

Many pieces of clothing are also practical gifts. This is even more achievable since winter items are starting to go on sale as stores transition from stylish outerwear to summer staples. Amidst the bathing suit ads you've started to see online, there are some great deals that can help your partner get through the final frigid months of winter. A great-looking down coat or cozy pullover is the perfect fuel for snuggling by the fire when you want to bring your Valentine's Day to a cozy close.

Something beautiful

Romance is alive on Valentine's Day and getting your partner something beautiful should be near the top of your list. This could be that eyeshadow palette your partner has been eyeing or a piece of jewelry that brings out the color of your partner's eyes.

A beautiful piece of jewelry can also speak volumes among partners. Did you know that orange sea glass is only found once in every 10,000 pieces? This gift is both beautiful and unique, making it a present your loved one will cherish for years to come.

But beauty also doesn't have to take the form of an object. Even though the U.S. e-commerce revenue is worth more than $423 billion, you can also opt for a beautiful trip somewhere new or even an engraved mirror to prove that they're the true beauty of the bunch. Don't be afraid to get cheesy or sentimental when picking the perfect gift for the love of your life.

Choosing the best Valentine's gift will vary from person to person and couple to couple. If you're stuck trying to come up with the perfect Valentine's Day surprise, use these options to promote inspiration for the special day.
